Almost ten thousand enthusiastic fans flocked to Italy to witness the ninth edition of the FIM Supermoto of Nations that saw Team France add to their historic Motocross of Nations victory in Latvia two weeks earlier. Thomas Chareyre, Adrien Chareyre and Sylvain Bidart got off to a difficult start but after three races they did enough to defeat the defending champions on home soil in Cremona. Team Germany were back on the box in third.
With fifteen of the twenty-one teams already qualified for the SMoN, there was still one last chance to make the main event, via the B Final on Sunday morning, where just one team place was up for grabs.
All three riders from the remaining six non-qualified teams took to the grid and it was Belgium who came through with the lowest score, just five points from the first and fourth positions of Romain Kaivers and Jean Marc Gaillard. The sixth place from the third rider Sebastien Bouillon was not needed and so Belgium will line up for the SMoN.
The teams that failed to qualify were Sweden Junior, Estonia, Great Britain Junior, Latvia and Russia.
